Families and individuals that have acquired wealth, or are in the process of acquiring property through their peak investment and earning years, should give serious thought to protecting their property through proper estate planning. If you or your family have an estate, no matter the size, it is important to preserve what you have worked a life-time to accumulate for the benefit of your family. Life-altering events such as divorce, incarceration and death bring this planning, or lack of it, into sharp focus. Our firm is experienced in assessing a family’s or an individual’s estate planning needs and providing reasonably affordable instruments customized to meet those needs for our clients.
​
Whether you are seeking long-term life planning, or are forced to protect family assets in reaction to a life-altering event, our firm is prepared to serve your legal needs. Our firm has experience in properly planning for a transfer of wealth within a family from one generation of loved ones to the next generation. We are skilled in designing trust instruments to preserve assets and avoid the probate process. Clients often come to us, however, when a loved one has died and probating the estate cannot be avoided. Some of our clients are forced to litigate in probate court. Either way, your legal needs are served in an efficient and affordable manner.

 

Our firm can prepare the following trust and estate planning documents:

• simple wills for each spouse

• revocable living trust customized to your needs

• post-divorce or “second-marriage” trust instruments

• life insurance trust

• trusts for loved ones with special needs

• power of attorney for financial affairs

• medical power of attorney

• living wills

• guardianships for incapacitated minors or adults

• conservatorships for incapacitated minors or adults

• probating an estate for persons who have died with or without a will

• ante-nuptial or postnuptial agreements

 

Our firm’s reasonable legal fees and flexible payment options will minimize the cost of your estate planning and provide you with the peace of mind that comes with a sound and properly executed estate plan.
